The First Tennessee Endowed Chair of Excellence Symposium at the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy hosts distinguished visiting professors to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center campus annually. The Symposia were initiated in 1994 with the first holder of the First Tennessee Chair of Excellence, William E. Evans, Pharm.D., as the principal speaker. Since that time, the program has been expanded to host other visiting speakers of international prominence. The Symposium has featured distinguished scientists and clinicians such as Nobel Laureate Gertrude Elion, DSc, Gerhard Levy, Pharm.D., Leslie Benet, Ph.D., Robert Powell, Pharm.D., Neal L. Benowitz, Ph.D., Malcolm Rowland, Ph.D., Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, Ph.D., and Alaistair J.J. Wood, M.D.
